Hi LolaVeci ,
Thanks again for providing the detailed information.
To ensure that only the headers appear in the CSV export while hiding the data rows, follow these steps.
1.Modify the DataElementOutput property. Right-click each header textbox , open the Properties Pane, and set DataElementOutput = Output, ensuring the headers appear in the CSV.
2.Next, for the data fields, right-click each field , open the Properties Pane, and set DataElementOutput = NoOutput, which prevents data from being included in the CSV export.
3.Additionally, to completely hide data rows, apply row visibility settings. Right-click the entire data row , select "Row Visibility," choose "Hide," and enter the expression =True, ensuring that the rows never appear .
4.Once these settings are applied, run the report in Report Builder, export it as a CSV .Please refer below screenshot.
Based on my understanding, I have provided the expected output. If this solution meets your requirements, please consider accepting it as the solution.
